Tab Position

warrenk · Post by **warrenk** » Tue Mar 17, 2009 6:58 pm

I am trying to change the tab position of my fields on a card. The only way I know of doing this is through the layer? My problem is some fields don't allow me to change the layer. When I go into the properties and try to set the layers nothing happens. The move forward/backward keys are not disabled...but nothing happens when I select them.

1) Am I trying to set the tab position correctly?
2) If I am...what would prevent me from changing the position?

Are those 'unmovable' fields inside a group, by any chance?
The engine by default protects you from moving these around, but you can control that by changing the relayerGroupedControls global property from the message box.

Code: Select all

set the relayerGroupedControls to true

Bear ion mind that this can result in control getting moved out of the group they were in, so be careful.

Jan,

Thank you very much!!!!!

I was really banging my head against the wall on this. Setting the relayerGroupedControls to true worked.
